    Welcome to the
    Pandemic Planning Coordinating Committee

    Public health protection is both a state and local responsibility. The Pandemic Planning Coordinating Committee (PPCC) serves as central oversight to ensure that state and local authorities can prepare and respond to all levels of epidemic and pandemic outbreaks that threaten the safety and well being of New Hampshire's Citizens.
    Preparing for Avian Flu
    In anticipation of the nation being affected by the H5N1 virus, also known as the avian (bird) flu, the PPCC is actively coordinating preparedness and response planning efforts throughout the state. The PPCC recognizes that most emergencies happen on a local level. A public health network of nineteen all-hazard sites has been implemented to manage and control public health threats on a community-by-community basis and to ensure that no community's needs go unmet.

    Phase I : State Preparedness
    The PPCC will develop and approve a methodology for committing $ 813, 000 to the twenty-four all-hazards sites. These funds provide assistance to local communities for the purpose developing pandemic response plans to be approved by the PPCC. Plan development is dependant on participation of key community partners in each of the 19 regions, such as:
    • Elected Appointed Municipal Officials
    • Emergency Medical Services
    • Police
    • Hospitals
    • Community Health Centers
    • Primary Care Providers
    • Home Care Providers
    • School Officials
    • Human/Social Services Providers
    • Public Health Network Partners
    • Behavioral Health Providers
    • State Agencies
    All Hazards Regions State Plans
    Under a Memorandum of Understanding, an All Hazards Site Regional Coordinating Committee for each region will oversee the development of a regional pandemic influenza plan and monitor the region's progress. The Committee's role is to represent all relevant stakeholders in the region, including public health networks, health and human service organizations, public safety, agriculture, businesses, public and private schools, faith-based and community organizations, subject matter experts and public members and will recognize and build on the efforts already underway in the State.

    "In the beginning of change, the patriot is a scarce man (or woman https://flutrackers.com/forum/core/i...ilies/wink.png), and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for it then costs nothing to be a patriot."- Mark TwainReason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it. -Thomas Paine
